34 M. L. Peringuey's Descriptive Catalogue [Nov. 30, 



thorax brassy or very dark bronze, covered with white decumbent 

 hairs ; elytra slightly ampliated in the middle in the female, hardly 

 convex, very slightly punctured, pale yellow with a narrow sutural 

 bronze line, and three dorsal ones on each side : the humeral one is 

 arcuated and produced backwards along the suture in a narrow line

Natal (D'Urban), Cape Colony (East London, Port Elizabeth,

In the Natal examples the dorsal bands are more regular than in 

 those from the Cape Colony. 



Yar. Herero. 



Smaller than the type form, colouring of tbe head and prothorax 

 more greenish ; elytra with the dorsal rami greenish instead of dark 

 bronze, broader and beginning nearer to the margin than in the 

 true Candida. 



In this variety the dorsal rami have become more developed than in
